Jugwump is the term which, we believe, is
applied to that school of politicians, who
want the whisky tax removed. They are
willing to tax sugar, coffee, rice, cloth and
shoes, but the Jugwump wants free whisky.

CATARRH DESCRIBED.
The Symptoms Attendin that Disease
Which Leads to Consumption.

When catarrh has existed in the head and the
upper part OF the throat for any length of time
are subject to catai rhal affection and the dis
ease has been left uncured. the catarrh invari-
ably sometimes slowly; extends down the wind
pipe and into the bronchial tubes. which tubes
convey the air into the different parts OF the
lungs. The tubes become affected from the
swelling and the mucous arising from catarrh
and. in some instances, become plugged up, SO
that the air cannot get in as freely AS it should.
Shortness Of breath follows, and the patient
breatheS with labor and difficulty.
In either case there is a sound OF cracking
and Wheeling inside the chest. At this stage OF
the disease the breathing is usually more rapid
than when in health. The patient has also hot
dashes over his body.
The pain which accompanies this condition is
of dull character. felt in the chest, behind the
breast bone or under the shoulder blade. The
pain may come and go-last few days and
then be absent for several others The cough
that occurs in the first stages of bronchial ca.
tarrh is dry, comes on at intervals hacking In
character, and is usually most troublesome in
the morning on rising, or going to bed at night,
and it may be in the first evidence of the disease
extending into the lungs.
Sometimes there are fits OF coughing induced
by the tough .nucus so violent as to cause vom-
iting. Later on the mucus that is raised is
found to contain small particles OF yellow mat
ter, which indicates that the small tubes in the
lungs are now affected. With this there are of.
ten streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. In
some cases the patient becomes very pale, has
fever, and expectorateS before any cough ap.
In some cases small masses of cheesy sub.

tcles Of q hard. chalfy nature are spit up. The
raising of cheeSy or chalky Jumps indicates Sc
rious mischief at work in the lungs.
In some cases catarrh will extend into the
lungs in n few weeks; in other cases II may be
months and even years, before the disease at
tacks the lungs sufficiently to cause serious in
reference with the general health, When the
disease has developed to such a point the pa

Appearance of Bill Nye.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
Bill Nye, the humorist, has bald head,
just as the illustrated papers represent.
Nye is a gOOd-humored humorist, even
on occasions when he is not on eXhibi-
tion. Mark Twain humor is not per-
ennial. Bill Nye Is genial to news
paper men, but Mark Twain refuses even
to see reporter. Nye is very dandyfed
in his dress, and in that respect the
artist does him an injustice. The writer
hereof saw Nye in Major j. B. Pond s
Office recently, getting in harness to go
on the road lecturing. He wore II SLOUGH
hat, navy blue, to match his suit. His
head was so sleek that if u fly lit on it it
would slip like Il man who has treaden
on banana peel. His face is jocose
continuation of his billiard ball Uranium,
and when in repose it has no humorous
lines, no oradiantangles and no Hogarth-
ian earmarks of genius. But let him
smile, and then the box of Pandora is
opened, and the curtain rolls up. His
eyes twinkle with merriment, and the
gold-rimmed spectacles that bridge his
aquiline nose drop down a space or two.
Nye's tout-ensemble is good. He wears
a jaunty suit of dark, navy blue flannel,
cut in the latest Partisan style, and a
pair of toothpicktoed patent leather
shoes. He is a kind parent, a warm
friend, and never refuses to help his
fellow countrymen.

Wild Geese In Dakota.

A correspondent from Harrisburg,
Dakota Territory, writes: For the in
formation and, perhaps, benefit of sports
men will give a very faint description
of what we are daily witnessing Of the
grand armies of the strong-winged birds
whose name heads this letter. OF the
variety known further south as wild
geese, the ''honkers, as they are called,
from the peculiar cry when on the wing,
we see large numbers. A great many
of these nest and breed about the small
lakes in our neighborhood, and people
often take the eggs and hatch them
under domestic birds, either geese or
hens. Besides these there are the
brant, a smaller, gray goose, and the
beautiful snowy geese. or these
last there seems to De no
limit to numbers. The air
is almost constantly filled with their
notes, and one can scarcely look up at
the sky-which is wonderfully wide
from these ighlands-without seeing
flocks of these magnificent birds wheel
ing across it in one direction or another.
No mathematics yet invented could
enumerate the hosts that have so far
appeared. instantaneous photography
is the only method by which any truth

hosts. We rode out, day or two since,

WAS HE MURDERED.
Excitement over the Disappearance
of a Missouri Farmer.

MEXICO, Mo. Nov. 4.-There is great ex-
citement among farmers living southwest Of
this city over the mysterious disappearance
of Ira Miligan, one of their number, who
stands high in the community and who 1t is
feared has been murdered. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Milligap, on approaching his house,
saw tramp trying to get in at window.
Tho tramp wanted something TO cat, aud the
owner Of the house told him there were none
of his family at home and that there was
nothing cooked. The tramp insisted on
going into the house, when Mr.. Milligan
drove him from his premises The vagrant
resisted, and as a last resort Mr.. Milligan
landed him in the road by kick. The tramp
left, swearing vengeance His family being
away on visit, Mr.. Milligan went to
the residence of neighbor, Mr.. Kline half
mile this side, for his supper To this gen
tleman and his family Mr.. Milligan related
the occurrence noted above and the tramp's
threat after which he returned to his home
for the night.
Mr.. Kline had occasion to go to Milligan's
house about 8 O'Clock this morning and was
astounded to find the house broken open, the
clothing he had taken off upon retiring last
night lying where he had left it, but the
lying by the bed and signs of scuffie were
apparent. Upon entering, Milligan's story
of the night before flashed into his mind. A
search was Immediately instituted, but Mr..
Milligan could not be found, and foul play is
strongly suspected. The country is now be-
ing secured. The A. o. u w. lodge to which
he belongs will send out a searching party IL
the sheriff and neighbors fail to find q clew
to his whereabouts.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4.-President Good
win, Of the society of the protection of chill
dren from immortality and crime caused
sensation to-day by reporting to the execu-
tive committee that he knew of girl only
thirteen years of age, now at the Children
and Nursery hospital, who had child two or
three weeks old. The girl said she had been
forced by threats made by the man who en-
ploye1 her to submit to his wishes. He re-
fuseo to divulge any names, but the reporters
hunted up the case and found in the
young mother handsome little
brunette. She is no more than a
child herself. Her name is Emily Blanche
King. and she is the daughter Of Mrs. George
Bassett, Of this city, by a second husband.
When but seven years old she was given in
care of Benjamin Gibson, a married man
with no children, who lived in Calvert
county. She was brought to her mother last
June by Gibson's father-in-law when Mrs.
Bassett learned of her condition. The girl,
when pressed, said that her employer had
forced her to submit. Mr.. Bassett went to
see the marshal Of police, but he had no
jurisdiction. 1t was then placed in the So

Pete MCAlliStcr's Crime.

Officer Bonfield, Of Chicago, arrived in
Omaha last evening after Pete McAllistcr,
who was arrested here Monday and held on
telegram from that place. McAllster was
under Indictment in Chicago several months
ago ON several charges of burglary, but
jumped his bail when Lyman Anderson and
Emil Gehrig were convicted of criminal as
sault and sentenced to eight years each in the
penitentiary, May Cottie, a servant in the
family of Mr.. Perkins, living at No 34o4
Palmer avenue, was the victim, and three
men, of whom McAllister is said to have been
the leader, participated in the crime On the
night of August 10 May Cottie was walking
with her beau near the corner of Thirty sec
ond and Dashiel streets, when three men who
claimed to be policemen frightened the lover
away and then brutally used the girl as they
willed. Anderson was first arrested and CON
victed. Then man named John w. Knorpp
was arrested, but proved mis- innocence.
Gehrigs arrest and sentence followed, and
it was while the last named was on trial that
McAllister ran away. Though he win be
taken TO Chicago on the burglary charge, he
will undoubtedly be tried for the more serious
crime OF rape. Mr., Bonield will leave for
Chicago with his prisoner this morning.

COughed Up an Eel.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 3l.-Henry
Steiner coughed up nineteen
ounce eel this afternoon. He tainted
when he saw it and is now in a very
weak condition, but out of danger. The
eel is sixteen inches long and a
perfect fish with the exception of
the eyes, which are wanting. The
mouth is very long and shaped like that
OF sucker fish. Last December
Steiner, who is u woodcarver, thirty
one years old, drew pail OF water from
the city hydrant on Lemon street, near
his house, and drank glassful. In
swallowing he felt "a lump about the size
of hazelnut pass down his throat.
Two months later he began to suffer the
mast terrible cramps and stomach pains,
which have continued until to-day.
DR.. John Retel and his son, Michael
treated Steiner successfully for neural
gia of the heart, gastritis, dyspepsia and
tareworm, administering morphene
when the pain was severest. A week

Steiner became convinced that he had
a tapewOrm, and by the advice of his
mother-in-law, bought quart ol
whisky yesterday and went to bed
drunk. This noon when he arose he
was in terrible agony, and about
o'clock the eel appeared from his mouth

How Pat Became Mummy.

Albuquerque Citizen: About two
years ago n poor unfortunate named
Foley died in this city. He was without
money or friends, and his death hardly
created ripple in the everyday cur
rent of local life. His body was en-
balmed by old man Morrison, who was
conducting an undertaking shop in the
city at the time. No one appeared to
claim Foley's cadaver, and, the county
refusing to pay the expense Of en-
balming and burial, Morrison kept the
body, and it turned to beauti-
full mahogany color, and bade fair to
last forever. When Morrison moved to
Ell Paso he took the relic of Foley along
as one of the household wares and
penates. Not meeting with success at
FL Paso, the embalmer moved on west
ward to San Diego, taking Foley along.
At the latter place bright thought
penetrated Morrison's brain, no less u
one than exhibiting Foley's body as u
"Mexican mummy, dug from one Of the
sacred mounds of the Aztecs, and of un-
known antiquity; admission 10 cents" :"
The result is that Foley is visited by
thousands and Morrison is coming

the nose feels as If there was plug In each nos

nose until your ears crack, but it don't do any
good and the only result is that you succeed in
getting up very red nose. and you so irrifate
the lining membrane Of that organ that you are
unable to breathe through it at all. This Is cor
rect and not overdrawn picture of an acute at
tack OF catarrh, or ''Sneezing Catarrh," as 1t is
called.
Now, what does this condition indicate? First
a cold that causes mucus to be poured out by
the glands in the nose: then those diseased
glands are attacked by swarms of little germs

cality where the disease is prevalent. These an

nose and nature undertakes to rid herself OF
them by producing a fit of sneeZing:

An Old Man Knocked Insensib,e BY
MulattO.

MulattO.
A most dastardly assault was ma de last
evening on Nelson Brown, the genial old pa
triarch who runs a candy stand on the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets. The
trouble was caused by a negress named Alice
Walker, who does Browns washing. His
bundle OF clothes was sent to him q day
sooner than he expected and he lacked few
cents Of having enough to pay the bill. He
promised to pay the rest to-day but she de-
manded it instanter in the vilest and most
insulting language she could command She
next sent for Pete Walker, who, without
giving Brown any chance for an explana-
tion, commenced u murderous assault upon
him, beating him into insensibility with beer
bottles and cutting his head and face in a
frightful manner. The mulatto then fled
and Brown was picked up apparently dead.
He did not fully regain his senses for quar-
ter of an hour. DIR. Williams, who dressed
the wounds, says Brown narrowly escaped
being killed. Walker rooms in the old city
hall, but has not yet been arrested.
